Attack Mode Cel Original Animation Drawing Herculoids
The Herculoids battled to defend their planet from menaces on * Amzot/Quasar and from outer space. All of the Herculoids displayed * Human-level intelligence - employing precision teamwork and complex * tactics - as well as emotions, and Zandor and Tara both * displayed a working knowledge of complex alien technologies as well as * the ability to pilot interstellar spacecraft—but essentially, Zandor, * Tara, Dorno, and the Herculoids were fighting to keep Amzot/Quasar a * technology-free, primitive planet. This is further * indicated by the pseudo-barbarian outfits of Zandor, Tara, and Dorno * and the fact that technology was used mainly by the various villains, * but rarely if ever by the heroes. Although the "speech" of their * companions was limited and repetitive, Zandor, Tara * and Dorno demonstrated that Gloop and Gleep, at least, had a * comprehensive mode of communication, and that they could at least * understand and interpret this language. * * * * **The cel and drawing are at least 35 years old. * * * * It looks like Dorno is on attack mode... * * <ul type="disc"> * Original Animation * and Drawing * * Original * "rough" animation drawing, in black pencil with the * notations in black. * * * Overall * Size of Drawing:  10 1/2" x 12 1/2" * Overall * Size of the Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" * Excellent * condition * This is an original hand-painted cel set-up * used in the production of an episode of "Herculoids." Each one-of-a-kind * set-up represents a slight change in position of the characters. When * individually photographed and projected in rapid succession, * the images * appear to move. * * To create production cels, the original animator's drawing is * transferred onto an acetate cel (by hand-inking and/or photo copying). * The cel is then hand-painted on the reverse side.  * * * The drawing and cel are ready to be matted and * framed.  The notations are located at the bottom of * the drawing and cel.  *
